What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday.

I'll try to keep it brief today - I know you've a lot of desks to see. Just going to mention anything I think you might ask about...The hand print paper is actually a mouse mat - a freebie from one of the baby food companies.

The diary looking thing is in fact... a diary! Never thought I would have to keep one but I'm finding I do and it is helping my scatterbrain. I've only forgotten one thing this week. Amazing! Although Craig wasn't to impressed when he asked if I could pick him up from a bird show at the end of this month - so I checked the diary! Ahahaha! He's wondering what else he'll have to schedule! Thinking about it - when I was single, my flat used to be wallpapered with post-it notes. I don't know why I got out of the habit of prompting myself to remember things!

The sketch book is indeed a sketch book - I've been practising facial features for the Suzi Blu class I'm doing. Talking of which - the CD holder is my attempt to back up the class - my PC isn't playing nice and am worried I will lose everything. I'm awaiting a USB stick to arrive so I can back up all my photos and documents too. I fear my dinosaur will soon stutter it's last crash notice.

What else... Chopping boards, for the class again and a top tip from Doone. Cheapy cheap from Ikea so they are in preparation for when my tub of Gesso arrives. The paint brushes were a cheapy cheap bargain buy too. (Can you guess where I went at the weekend??)

You might be able to spot some Quorn packaging - they have an offer for a recipe book when you have two codes, I was ordering one of those last night...

Anything else - please shout.

Some of you have mentioned over past weeks the wire bird on my shelf:It's a custom made present I bought for Craig a couple of Christmases ago. Sparkflight on Etsy can sculpt almost anything out of wire and she did this from a photo of one of Craig's actual pigeons. The ring on its leg is one of his rings. Don't know if you can see in the picture but she's even signed and dated in wire.He loved it as do I and I've told him - if he ever boogers off he can take the dogs... maybe even the kids but pidgie stays!

The project some of you were wondering about last week was a challenge item for Gauche Alchemy/Sketchy Thursdays. "Zombie Mother" The Challenge is still running so if you'd like to win the new Gauche Alchemy kit, take a peep here.

Oh yeah, Hugh? He's just there to make this visit more interesting for Donna and Gail. Enjoy girls!

Thanks for stopping by everyone, if you want to play along then get your bum over to our all seeing, all knowing leader: Julia, link up, stand back and prepare to be bombarded.

Love the wire bird and what a fantastic gift idea. Will have to store that one for a later date. I'm like you I have to write down all my actions, think my brain is shrinking as I get older. Love the desk pics but the image on the computer wins hands down. Have a good evening, Tracy Evans x

grr my internet is really driving me mad tonight, keep typing my comments then it fails, so grrrr. . anyway yo ucan prob hear my grrrr's as I am in Maidstone, so we must be fairly close, love yur pigeon hope your OH is as inventive with your gifts. . and you must get Craft Stamper its full of original projects and techniques

Yeah, I could so easily get all teenager-y about HJ, he's a charm. I've seen it before but I do love the pigeon sculpture, how amazing. Love that the diary is a help. I've been trying to use the diary on my phone, but it doesn't work for me, I'm a paper gal, to the bone. Ohh, backing things up...I must copy that too!

It's me again. Speaking of potty training... Have you got a Potette Plus potty?They're brilliant. It's a both big toilet seat plus a travelling potty with plastic bag inserts, which have a lining which, like a nappy can absorb any deposits and then you can just tie it up and throw it away!Look it up online, they sell them on Toys R Us and loads of other places!I think they're great!Chrissie
